Sorkin brought in to scribe Moneyball
July 10, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
The baseball drama “Moneyball” has gone through several changes since its inception. The latest is Aaron Sorkin being brought in to draft a new version of the flick by next month, drawing on Steve Zaillian’s earlier take.
Brad Pitt remains on board to star, but Steven Soderbergh is out as director and writer. Based on Michael Lewis’ bestselling book, the story follows the Oakland A’s and their unorthodox approach to evaluating talent.
There’s no doubt that Sorkin is a talented writer. He recently completed “The Social Network” (a.k.a. the Facebook movie), and also penned 1992’s “A Few Good Men” and ABC’s “Sports Night” for ABC a decade ago.
